A/N: ok, this is probably just going to be a one shot piece. I might
possibly turn it into a full story if people like it enough. This is an
idea I have been toying around with for a while. It is G/S angst, but
definitely a S/N story, because they belong together. This is in Grissom's
POV. Please enjoy and review. If I get enough nice reviews, I might make
this a full story. I am still working on Twisted and Gathering Courage, but
I am stuck on those and this idea popped into my head. So, please enjoy and
review!
Disclaimer: nope, don't own it. If I did, Nick and Sara would rightfully be together
Remember, this is Grissom's POV.
Nick gave a low whistle of awe as we walked into the fancy restaurant to question a waiter. Under his breath, I heard him whisper to himself "this would be the perfect place." Subconsciously I agreed out loud.
"Yes, this would be a good place." He looked at me, I looked at him. "What do you think this place is perfect for?" Nick blushed a little.
"Proposing to my girlfriend. What about you."
Nick had a girlfriend? This was news to me. "I'm planning on asking someone special out on a date."
"Grissom likes someone? Wow." I glared at the younger man and he shut up. We didn't get into details of anything because just then, the suspect came up.
Later, back at the lab, I sat at my desk thinking. I was reasonably sure Sara would say yes to my dinner invitation, she had asked me out a while back. I wasn't quite sure why I had said no at that time. She had told me that by the time I figured it out, it would be to late, but that was just Sara talking. She was known for her lack of a social life out of the lab, so I really didn't have anything to worry about.
I looked out of my office. I saw Nick and Sara standing close. They looked like they were flirting, but it didn't really worry me. They flirted a lot, it didn't mean anything. Plus, Nick had a girlfriend. I must admit, I was a little worried about Nick and Sara at first. Nick was a known womanizer. But my fears were soon dissolved.
Now all I had to do was figure out when to ask Sara out. I didn't want to do it when anyone else was around. As much as I trusted my team, I would prefer to keep it secret for a while. I definitely didn't want Eckley finding out. I also needed to get a night off if I was going to take her out. I looked back out. She was walking away and Catherine was now talking to Nick. I could see her face break into a smile as she began talking animatedly to Nick, who was also smiling. I looked at my calendar. Both Nick and Sara had the night off Friday, in two days. I decided I would ask Sara out when I had the chance, hopefully before Friday.
Turns out our next two nights were very busy and I didn't get the chance to talk to Sara. "That's ok," I told myself. I will ask her tomorrow. My stomach fluttered at the thought. Hell, I hadn't felt like this since high school, I thought with amusement. Just then, my phone rang. We had a shooting at the same restaurant Nick and I had been, when we had our little 'talk'. I thought about calling Sara and Nick, but decided against it. They worked to hard, Sara especially. I'd call them later if we really needed them.
This part isn't really in anyone's POV. Thought I'd tell you so it doesn't get to confusing. I will let you know when I'm back to Grissom's POV.
Gunshots rang through the calm quiet atmosphere. Nick and Sara automatically ducked under the table. Nick held Sara tight as he tried to get a good look of the shooter. He caught a glimpse as the man ran out the door. Nick and Sara quickly got up to see if anyone was hurt. Two people lay dead on the ground, several other diners we injured. They checked the pulses to confirm that the dead were actually dead. Then, as Nick called 911, Sara tried to help the injured people. They couple was so busy, they didn't even think about what there colleagues would think when they saw the two together. Well, mostly what Grissom and Warrick would think. Catherine had already figured it out. It didn't occur to Nick or Sara that there could be a third fatality when Grissom found out what Nick had just done.
Back to Grissom's POV
I arrived right behind Catherine. She was acting kind of strange. When she saw me, she mumbled something and disappeared into the building. I was following her in when I got mobbed by the press. Those people are damn parasites I tell you. I managed to shove my way past them into the building.
And again, back to really no ones POV. Lol.
While the press was mobbing Grissom, Brass was starting to conduct interviews. He noticed Catherine talking to two people. "Why is Catherine questioning the witnesses, not starting to take evidence?" he wondered as he walked to where she was. The pieces all flew into place as he saw whom she was talking to. He gasped. "Nick? Sara?" he managed to whisper. The two CSI's blushed as he noticed that they were holding hands. Brass suddenly felt like he was going to faint from shock. Not the shock that two CSI's were holding hands, no. From the shock that on one of the CSI's hands sparkled a beautiful engagement ring. Nick and Sara nodded, answering his unanswered question. They were engaged. Brass broke into a smile and took Sara's hand to look at her ring.
Ok, now, back to Grissom's POV. This is the last change in POV's. Lol.
The scene was bad inside the restaurant. There were two fatalities, and several people were wounded. I could see Brass interviewing two witnesses. Well, at least he was supposed to be interviewing them. In reality, he was looking at something on the woman's hand. As I got closer, I could see her better. I saw a man come and wrap his arms around the woman. "That's strange." I thought to myself. "Why is Catherine over there to?" As I saw whom they were talking to though, I got my answer.
I stopped dead in my tracks. My breath became ragged, and my head started spinning. I could hear people talking, but it seemed so distant. All I could think about was the woman standing there, with a wide smile, holding her hand out for Brass to see the sparkling ring on her finger. And the beaming man, holding onto the woman.
"No, it can't be." But it was, what I had secretly feared had come true. It was Nick and Sara. I put the pieces together and mentally cursed myself. That's why Sara had seemed so happy lately, and that's why Nick blushed when we were talking about his girlfriend. From the look of things, Nick had popped the question. And from their smiles, I could tell Sara had said yes.
I felt as if my heart had been pulled out and ripped up. I had been so sure that Sara would always be there for me. Maybe I should have been quicker, and taken the chance when I had it. Now, instead of me, it was Nick standing there, holding her tightly. It was Nick who she was staring at with love. They noticed me, and both faces fell. I composed myself as I walked over.
"Nick. Sara. Did you touch anything here?" I asked what I would ask anyone in this situation. I wouldn't let them know that I was ripped up inside. Relief flooded the young couples faces as they relised I wasn't going to kill them. Sara spoke first, she tried to cover it but her voice was filled with joy.
"We checked the victims pulses and helped apply pressure to the injuries of the people that were hurt."
"And we tried to keep everyone else from disturbing evidence." Nick didn't even try to mask his happiness.
"Ok, we just need you to stick around and fill out some statements." I was all business. I couldn't let them see how distraught I was. I turned around and walked away, knowing now how it felt to have your heart broken. Now I knew, that when Sara had told me "by the time you figure it out, it will be to late", I should have believed her. Now she was right, it was too late.
The End?
A/N: I hope you liked this. We don't have enough Grissom jealousy on this site! As I said, most likely this will just be one chapter. But if you liked this, please tell me and I might make it a full-length story. So, review! Also, how do you find challenges? I really want to know. So, please review.
